A recent thread reminded me of Bill Eichelberger's 3x18mm Firehawk mod:

http://www.rocketreviews.com/review..._firehawk.shtml


I was vaguely sure that I had whipped up a RockSim file "back in the day" (June 2005), and sure enough, here it is. I doublechecked, and apparently I didn't bother submitting it for Craig's BARCLONE list back then. ("I was so much older then / I'm younger than that now...")

If you're practical instead of a purist "You can also substitute a Semroc BNC-60RL and a metal screw eye for the PNC-60RL.


Submitted for your consideration,

I spotted one 'trivial' correction that, I think you'll agree, could have profound effect on the construction of this model: I added a coupler between the two main body tubes. Sorta hard to make 'em stick together without one...

Yeah, but the flights are more exciting without it.

I miss being SAM 0058

Build floor: Centuri Mini Dactyl Estes - Low Boom SST Semroc - Marauder, Shrike, SST Shuttle

In paint: Canaroc Starfighter Scorpion Estes F-22 Air Superiority Fighter, Multi-Roc, Solar Sailer II Semroc Cyber III

Ready to fly: Estes - Solar Sailer II Semroc - Earmark, Groonie Der V 1/2

Er...*yeah.*

Actually, I had intended for the builders to use one 23" long body tube. I just split it into 5 and 18" pieces so I could make them different colors in RockSim.

On the other hand, Bill *does* have a point...


Cheers,

Um, true... Very true...

I know what 'exciting' flights can be like. My first 'Dominion Keeper' prototype had this peculiar habit of trying to sniff its own backside as it came off the rod...
